When making a comment, we strongly recommend you draft your comments first in a word processing software, and then copy/paste your comments into Public Access.

PLEASE NOTE There is a 30 minute time out when making comments on Public Access. Should your session time out, draft comments will be retained for up to two days. To retrieve them, you must login using the same device and browser within two days to finalise and submit your comments, otherwise they will be deleted. Draft comments are saved within your browser, so should they be lost we are unable to retrieve them for you.
